Yeah. The argument is that since Gotham is so dark and even its "heroes" are terrible people, we're looking at Earth-3. (Well, that and the fact there's no logical path from Bruce as he currently exists, [or Jim Gordon or Barbara, for that matter] to his comicbook counterpart.)

So, Jerome has the look, the manner, and now he evidently has ** spoiler omitted ** as well...but showrunners definitively said some time back that he's not the Joker.
I have a strong feeling that whatever the showrunners said or planned in season 1 no longer applies in season 4. They've long given up an pretense to being any real kind of "Batman" show.
They're their own thing now and they've just kind of embraced what they are and what they aren't. I personally think it's for the better too. I hated the idea of a Joker showing up before Batman back in season 1... but MAN... that Jerome just NAILS it. He's by and far my favorite Joker ever... even if he can't fit into a legitimate comic Batman mentality.
